Pre-Engineering and Feasibility Studies

Feasibility studies identify the best technology for a project or an application based on performance and functional requirements. The studies estimate preliminary sizes of process equipment, identify issues that may affect performance, and estimate capital/operations costs for each alternative. Where applicable, feasibility studies estimate carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions increase or reduction.

Process Engineering

Process engineering includes selection and sizing of process equipment, preparing process flow diagrams, process and instrumentation diagrams, and technical specifications. Depending on the project we prepare performance specifications or detailed technical specifications. Where applicable, we select and specify fully automated skid-mounted systems into our processes which are designed and assembled by equipment suppliers for quick delivery and startup.

Operation and Maintenance Manuals

Operations and maintenance manuals are prepared for new and existing processes. These manuals are prepared to offer technicians and operators a technical reference, and are designed to enhance technical knowledge at several skill levels. The manuals can be used to comply with ISO 14000 requirements and maintain quality control.

Training

We identify standard operating procedures and train technicians to operate and monitor environmental processes. For trained technicians, we provide training and technical support to optimize processes such as chemical dosing systems, biological wastewater treatment systems and soil remediation systems. The purpose of ongoing operator training is to improve process performance and lower operations costs.

Process Improvements, Optimization, and Energy Efficiency

Process reviews are performed to identify opportunities to improve process functionality through process monitoring, automation, control, identification and removal of bottlenecks. Process optimization is performed for all environmental processes to reduce operations costs while improving process performance and reducing energy costs.
